Comcast SportsNet, the television home for the most games and most comprehensive coverage of the Chicago Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs and White Sox, has named pro basketball beat reporter Vincent Goodwill as its Bulls “Insider” effective immediately. In this position, Goodwill will lead Comcast SportsNet’s coverage of the Bulls across the network’s growing list of multiplatforms, highlighted by CSNChicago.com’s ‘BullsTalk’ franchise, and will also serve as an on-air Bulls contributor on Bulls Pregame Live, SportsNet Central and SportsTalk Live. Goodwill can be followed on Twitter @vgoodwill.

“Vincent comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience covering the NBA over the years and his passion for the game will most certainly be felt by our television viewers, web and mobile visitors, and social media audience immediately,” said T.K. Gore, Sr. Director of Digital Media for Comcast SportsNet Chicago. “Vincent’s hiring is another perfect example of our commitment in providing fans with the most in-depth, local coverage of their favorite teams and confirms Comcast SportsNet as the region’s leading source for comprehensive multiplatform coverage.”

Goodwill, a native of Detroit, MI, comes to Comcast SportsNet after spending four-plus seasons as the Detroit Pistons beat reporter for The Detroit News (2010-15). Prior to earning the primary Pistons beat reporter role for the publication, Goodwill handled a variety of back-up beat reporting responsibilities for The Detroit News, which included providing coverage of every Detroit pro team franchise and area colleges. Goodwill began his journalism career as a contributing NBA writer for SLAM Magazine.

Goodwill is the latest addition to a rapidly growing digital media department that operates CSNChicago.com, and a portfolio of successful mobile and social media platforms. These platforms feature exclusive written, video and interactive content from several multiplatform sportswriters, including Cubs “Insider” Patrick Mooney, White Sox “Insider” Dan Hayes, Blackhawks “Insider” Tracey Myers, Bears “Insider” John ‘Moon’ Mullin, along with a veteran staff of digital media/television reporters and producers.

MAXX Client Kristen Balboni officially joined FOX Sports as host of its daily social media series @TheBuzzer, while also contributing elsewhere at FOX Sports 1. The series recently scored its best month ever, collectively averaging more than 37 million video views in January, and has become FOX Sports’ most-consumed content on mobile devices.

The Lawrence Taylor 56th private birthday celebration Wednesday night at Catch’s Rooftop will include former teammates from the Super Bowl XXI and XX Giants and “other very relevant individuals,” according to longtime friend, agent and representative Mark Lepselter.

For Lepselter, MAXX Sports & Entertainment president, it was an idea he and LT friend and attorney Arthur Aidala hatched several months ago to recognize No. 56 turning 56 last Wednesday.

“I don’t think there’s any professional athlete in recent memory more synonymous with a jersey number than Lawrence Taylor with the number 56,” Lepselter told The Rumble. “Good, bad or indifferent, he’s led a remarkable life. He is the most compelling individual that I’ve ever been around. This was something I wanted to be a part of for him to be celebrated by those people closest to him. That was important to me.”

Lepselter first met Taylor 25 years ago, right before LT opened a restaurant that bore his initials in East Rutherford. Lepselter was the restaurant manager.

“He and I have just always shared a very unique relationship,” Lepselter said.

They lost touch from 1992-97, before Lepselter worked out the deal with Oliver Stone’s people for LT to appear in “Any Given Sunday.”

“I was able to get him the audition with Oliver down at the TriBeCa Film Center in October of ’98, and he moved to Miami and never left after he filmed the movie down there,” Lepselter said. “That was a pivotal moment for both of us.”

Their story has been one of turbulence, triumph and near-tragedy, and above all else, loyalty.

“My life and times with Lawrence Taylor have been some of the most rewarding aspects of my life over the last 25 years,” Lepselter said. “There’s been some tough times, man, but we always stuck together.“It’s been a remarkable journey.”

Lepselter is expecting a few hundred people to honor LT at the perfect spot — not too far away from West 56th Street.

“Great venue, great vibe in the heart of the Meatpacking District,” Lepselter said.

He spawned a generation of kids and aspiring football players who wanted to wear No. 56 more than any other number, arguably more than No. 12 way back when for Joe Namath. You didn’t even have to be from New York. If you played Pop Warner football, or high school football, or college football, if you played defense, you wanted 56.

And Wednesday, No. 56 turned 56.

Lawrence Taylor says he is in a better place in life than he has been in a long, long time. A Hall of Fame place. Where he no longer needs to be the madman L.T., because being Lawrence Taylor is good enough.

“I would like to say my life is perfect, but it’s not, but I have a good life,” Lawrence Taylor told The Post. “I am actually enjoying being an elder statesman and doing what I do in life, you know?”

I asked him if it is hard for him to believe he is 56.

“It’s hard to believe that I GOT to 56, yes,” he said, “but I’m here.

“Don’t get me wrong — it hasn’t been an easy road. It’s been a rough road. It’s been a rocky road, it’s been a rough road … and every day I face things that really make you just hesitant about how life is, but one thing I know, I’ll get through it, and I can make it happen. Bad things will happen, but I have a lot of good things that happen in my life.

“I have a LOT in my life to be thankful for.”

All these years later, you still see 56 jerseys in the stands at MetLife Stadium, the stadium that replaced The House That L.T. Built, and you see more than 56 of them.

“Regardless of how they feel about you personally, they respect what you do,” Taylor said.

L.T. wore 98 at North Carolina, but chose 56 when he joined the Giants.

Center Jim Clack had worn the number, but had retired. When Clack decided to unretire, he wanted his number back, but Giants general manager George Young allowed L.T. to keep 56 because he was certain he would take it to Canton.

L.T. is one of seven players to wear 56 who have Hall of Fame busts, along with Bill Hewitt, Dante Lavelli, Joe Schmidt, Ted Hendricks, Andre Tippett and Chris Doleman.

It took about 56 seconds on the practice field for defensive coordinator Bill Parcells and his boss, Ray Perkins, to recognize that a rare force of nature was now a Giant.

It only seemed like L.T. sacked Ron Jaworski 56 times on his way to 132.5 sacks, not including 9.5 sacks as a rookie before they became an official stat.

His former Giants teammates will tell you L.T. showed up for Sundays without sleep no fewer than 56 times … and raised hell on the field anyway.

It has been documented more than 56 times L.T. lived his life either on the edge or over the edge plenty more than 56 times. He was suspended several times for failing drug tests and in 2011 he pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct involving a 16-year-old.

A day in the life of Lawrence Taylor today no longer sees him playing 56 holes of golf down in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

“That would be a good day, but that was a lot of years ago,” Taylor said. “I don’t play 56 holes. It’s very seldom, unless I’m playing Michael Jordan, do I play 36 holes. I’m an 18-hole man.”

A family man. He and his wife, Lynette, fawn over adopted son Mali, 8. He was ordering dinner for his two sons at Benihana on Wednesday night when I called. On Tuesday, he had himself a blast with some familiar names — Cornelius Bennett, Bruce Smith, Keith Byars, Ray Allen and Penny Hardaway, among others.

“I played golf with about 30 guys,” Taylor said. “We meet every Tuesday, so they threw me a get-together, a party, and I was really surprised. And today, hey, we had to do it all over again.”

Longtime friend and agent Mark Lepselter is hosting a party for No. 56 next Wednesday.

“He is the most settled and at peace with being Lawrence Taylor than I’ve ever seen him, and I’ve known him for 25 years,” Lepselter said. “I’m just so proud of how far he’s come on so many fronts. He’s as loyal a guy as I’ve ever been around. I think more than anything, age has mellowed him, and made him a better guy to be around.”

It would be a nice touch for the NFL to ask him to conduct the coin toss someday … at Super Bowl LVI, of course.

“The No. 1 thing is I love the game,” Taylor said. “I love the game of football, I loved contact, I love what the game has done for me. As I get older, every day I respect and I love how the fans treated me, how the fans treat me. Because at some point in time, it’s all gonna be over. And it’s all about what type of impact did you have on the game? Listen, maybe I’m more mellowed out now than I used to be, but I’m more appreciative of the fans than I used to be.”

Giants fans everywhere will be happy to know their beloved 56 had himself a happy 56th.

ESPN is bringing some young, fresh faces to join its “SportsCenter” team.

Maxx client and comedian, Reese Waters, is joining the network’s team in Bristol, Connecticut, and intends to tap into the digital landscape to reach the millennial generation.

Reese is one of three new 'SportsCenter' correspondents who will be doing special reports for the franchise show — such as going on the road with a college football team or reporting from the 16th hole at this weekend’s Phoenix Open — and it will be easy to spot his segments amid the sea of veteran talent. "These stories are not going to appear on air and then fade off - they are going to get an extended life digitally and on social media."

Meet Reese Waters below:

Hometown: Washington, DC

How he got to ESPN: Waters first blended his stand-up comedy skills with a love of sports as co-host of "The Daily Line" on the Versus network, then was tapped by ESPNU to host late-night college sports wrap show "Unite." Five years later, his latest career path "was a no-brainer ... when 'SportsCenter' calls, you have to answer."

How he'll be different: Used to "having license to say what he wants" on stage, Waters, 34, will push the boundaries without upsetting too many fanatics. "Once of the most entertaining things to me is how invested the fans are. I've learned that there is a way to say everything, " he told TheWrap. In addition to his segments sounding brassier, "there's no sports expertise! I don not want you to think, but it is about entertainment."

Favorite "SportsCenter" anchor: Kenny Mayne is hilarious. If you think of him like a boxer, there are these guys that throw punches from all angles. With Kenny, I never know where he's going to come from."

Mike Pereira, former NFL vice president of officiating, and former Oakland Raiders CEO Amy Trask have each signed deals with Triumph Books to write books about their careers in professional football.

Mark Lepselter, president of Maxx Sports & Entertainment, who represents both Pereira and Trask in their broadcast careers, negotiated the book deals. Pereira is the on-air NFL rules analyst for Fox Sports, and Trask is an analyst with CBS Sports.

Lepselter declined to reveal the financial terms of the agreements with Triumph Books, a Chicago-based independent publishing company that specializes in sports books. Typically, publishing deals involve an upfront advance for the authors, as well as a royalty of 15 percent to 20 percent of the book’s sales.

Pereira is co-writing the book with Rick Jaffe, Fox Sports 1 senior vice president of news, and it is due out around the opening of the 2015 NFL season.

Trask is co-writing the book with longtime football writer Michael Freeman, who writes about the NFL for Bleacher Report, and that book is due out around the beginning of the 2016 season.

“I have always enjoyed writing, and Mike Freeman makes writing even more fun than usual,” Trask said. “I worry only that I will let him down.”

Trask previously said she was planning to write about her memories of working with the Raiders, but also about what she has learned as a woman working in the sports industry. “I am asked so often, what advice I would give young women who seek careers in business — a particularly male-dominated business at that,” she said. “I am sharing my perhaps somewhat controversial thoughts on that topic, woven in and around anecdotes and experiences from my almost three decades with the Raiders and the National Football League.”

Since the domestic violence scandals involving NFL players have exploded in recent months, Trask has been a frequent guest on a number of news and sports programs.

Pereira, meanwhile, was one of the first NFL officials to get a broadcast deal. He was busy last week doing television interviews on the investigation into whether the New England Patriots deflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game. “He is going to be on CNN with Anderson Cooper tonight,” Lepselter said last week. “I believe that Mike is arguably as important a fixture in NFL broadcasting as anyone these days. He is clearly the foremost expert on anything related to the rules of the league.”

The Pereira book will be a bit of a memoir, a review of his first career with the NFL, including different anecdotal stories about controversial games and plays, as well as a look at his second career as a broadcaster.

Starting Friday, MAXX client Gregg Giannotti will become CBS Sports Radio's national morning co-host alongside Brian Jones, the latest stop on a rapid rise during which he went from producing for Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts at WFAN to five years as a sports talk host in Pittsburgh.

On one hand, leaving Pittsburgh was more difficult than Giannotti ever anticipated it would be.

"I went into it thinking this was going to be like going to college again -- learn, come back in a couple of years, like an extended business trip," he said. "I ended up developing all these great relationships."

Still, the new gig means "coming back home," and that proved irresistible for a guy who grew up in Brookhaven Hamlet, attended Hofstra and now plans to live in Great Neck and commute into Manhattan -- where he will work out of the same studio Benigno and Roberts used when he was their producer.

There is one problem with the coming-home thing: Giannotti must accept the odd reality of working in New York but not being heard by New Yorkers -- other than those who listen online.

CBS Radio, which owns WFAN, long has been expected to move its national programming into either the FAN's AM or FM signal, but so far that has not happened.

"Even though we're not on in New York, it's just being back," Giannotti said. "It's just being back in that building, being around family and friends, people I grew up in the business with.

"It's really a prideful thing the powers that be at CBS looked around and said we want to have a real entertaining morning show," he said. "I'm going to do everything I can to make people take notice."

Giannotti and Jones will succeed MAXX clients Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney, who are moving to the 9 a.m.-to-noon shift, and Dana Jacobson, who returned her focus to television.

MAXX Client Amy Trask was named as one of the "Most Improved" sports broadcasters (honorable mention) by Sports Illustrated in their annual "Sports Illustrated Media Awards: the best and worst of 2014" column.

Amy spent the past year working for CBS Sports on their CBSSN NFL Sunday pregame show, "That Other Pregame Show" and she also worked as a regular panelist on the network's all-female sports talk show, "We Need to Talk."

Additionally, Amy was recognized by Sports Illustrated in their list of sports TV personalities that "they want more of." SI mentioned that Amy is an exec-turned-analyst who's one of the brightest NFL minds on TV.

MAXX Client Bomani Jones was recognized by Sports Illustrated in their annual "Sports Illustrated Media Awards: The best and worst of 2014", which was published by SI's Senior Editor, Richard Deitsch on December 19th, 2014.

Bomani was named one of the "Studs of the Year," thanks to his reporting on this year's Donald Sterling scandal.

Sports Illustrated writes, "ESPN2 Highly Questionable host Bomani Jones first alerted ESPN.com readers to Donald Sterling's housing discrimination nonsense eight years ago, and correctly observed then that too many constituencies (the NBA, the news media) had looked the other way on Sterling for years. The rest of the media finally caught up in 2014."

Thanks to SI for taking note of Bomani's successful efforts this year!

MAXX Client Amy Trask was recognized in Sports Illustrated's 2014 'Year in Sports Media' column for her work as a sports TV personality.

Sports Illustrated included Amy in their list of sports TV personalities that "they want more of." The article also mentioned that Amy is an exec-turned-analyst who's one of the brightest NFL minds on TV.

Agency President Mark Lepselter will represent Watson for his broadcast endeavors.

Watson recently garnered national attention for something he did off the field: a Facebook post on his thoughts on the Ferguson grand jury decision and the resulting protests. Watson’s post was hailed in the media as “thoughtful” and “moving,” and was shared more than 473,000 times and liked more than 859,000 times.

For the last few years, athletes have been signing with broadcast agents while they are still playing. Lepselter quietly signed Watson over the summer after being introduced to him by his client, former NFLer-turned-broadcaster Rodney Harrison.

The Facebook post highlights Watson’s ability to connect with an audience, but even before that, he had a “big future” in broadcasting, Lepselter said. Among the things that make Watson attractive, Lepselter said, is he played at an SEC school, Georgia; is a respected NFL veteran; has a Super Bowl ring; and is an NFLPA executive committee member.

“Did this thing go viral and did a lot of people pay attention to it?” Lepselter asked, rhetorically. “Sure. But I can tell you that network talent executives have been aware of Benjamin for some time.”

CBS Sports Radio today announced a new lineup for the nation’s largest 24/7 major-market sports radio network heard on more than 330 stations nationwide, starting on Friday, Jan. 2, 2015.

Leading off the day will be Gregg Giannotti and Brian Jones broadcasting live from CBS Sports Radio’s studio in New York City from 6:00-9:00AM. Giannotti joins from CBS RADIO’s Sportsradio 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, where he hosts the perennially No. 1-rated sports talk show in the market.

Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney will now be heard from 9:00AM-12:00Noon.

Eric Spitz, Director of Programming at CBS Sports Radio said, “Gregg and Brian, two naturally funny guys, will be an incredibly entertaining team in mornings, and we’re thrilled to build on the great rapport that Tiki and Brandon have developed over the past couple of years.”

Lawrence Taylor changed the game, and despite so many attempts by LT wannabes, there will never be another one quite like him.

He was an intimidating combination of strength and speed who wrecked offenses and quarterbacks (ask Joe Theismann). He was voted the second-best player in NFL history by the Daily News 15-member blue ribbon panel right behind Jim Brown.

“It’s pretty cool,” L.T. said by phone Tuesday from Florida when he was informed of the honor. “In this league of so many great players, I wouldn’t think I would be this high. I am really appreciative. That’s an honor with the class of guys who have played in this league. To be considered one of the best, that’s great. Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, those names are icons. To be considered the best is one thing. Two is pretty good.”

And because Brown was a running back, of course, that means the Daily News panel considers Taylor the greatest defensive player in NFL history. “I’m really excited about it,” he said, laughing. “I’m still making news.”

Taylor had his share of problems off the field as a player and in his post-career life, but has been working hard to keep himself out of trouble and rehabilitate his image. The more time he spends on the golf course, it seems, the better off he is.

Taylor was such a dominant pass rusher from his right outside linebacker spot in the Giants’ 3-4 defense it was impossible for running backs to block him. So, he started seeing double-teams with tight ends.

Finally, innovative 49ers coach Bill Walsh assigned an offensive lineman to block LT during his rookie year in 1981. He would have left guard John Ayers swing out and try to catch Taylor coming off the edge.

Soon, it became LT against left tackles. He finished with 132½ sacks in his 13-year career. That does not include the 9½ he recorded as a rookie before sacks were an official statistic.

In the Giants’ first Super Bowl season in 1986, LT became the first defensive player to be named league MVP in 15 years.

“The longer I’ve been around professional football the more convinced I am that you can’t win titles without an exceptional quarterback. To me, Unitas is the gold standard,” former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi said. “The other indispensable ingredient needed for a championship team is a great pass rush. Lawrence Taylor was the best pass rusher I’ve ever seen.”

Longtime big leaguer Carlos Pena has joined MLB Network as a studio analyst for the upcoming season.

Pena was the 10th overall pick in the 1998 draft and played 14 seasons in the majors for eight different teams, including a brief 16-game stint for the Rangers this past season at age 36.

In his prime Pena made up for low batting averages with tons of walks and home runs, averaging 34 homers and 95 walks per season from 2007-2011 while producing an .871 OPS during that span. He finishes with 286 homers, one Gold Glove award, one All-Star appearance, and nearly $50 million in career salary.

Lawrence Taylor looks to jump back into the media business like his Giant pal Michael Strahan.

Late last week we learned, courtesy of radio moles, Lawrence Taylor and Sid Rosenberg were joining forces to launch some kind of radio project in South Florida.

This was soon followed by talk about a more immediate rendezvous in a different location — that LT and Rosenberg would be coming to WFAN.

When asked, Mark Lepselter, Taylor’s agent, confirmed the pairing, saying the two mouths are scheduled to assemble in FAN’s Manhattan studio for a command performance on Saturday afternoon Dec. 6.

In February, 56 turns 56. Will 2015 be the year Taylor also attempts to return to the media spotlight behind a microphone or in front of a camera? Is he using this afternoon gabfest on FAN as a springboard?

Ex-WFANer and current morning host in Miami Sid Rosenberg teams up with Lawrence Taylor for a Dec. 6 show on FAN.

Lepselter said the radio appearance, and the inclusion of Rosenberg, the former FAN Gasbag and current morning mouth at 640-AM in Miami, was Taylor’s idea. Three weeks ago he was with LT and the Giants Hall of Famer “out of nowhere” said he would like to do some radio.

“He also said he needed to start from the ground up,” Lepselter said over the telephone. “Because in LT speak, ‘I got to learn what I’m doing.’” Following that conversation, Lepselter called FAN boss Mark Chernoff to gauge his interest. Chernoff liked what he heard and set a date.

How serious is Taylor about a radio or TV role? After LT retired from football, TNT suits, thinking he was serious about being a voice on their “Sunday Night Football” studio show, hired him in 1994. LT whiffed. He barely went through the motions. The gig did not work out well.

“Look, that was many moons ago. He mailed it in. But the LT of 20 years ago did a lot of things where he mailed it in,” Lepselter said. “The fact he is willing to do it, and he came to me and told me he wants to do it, signals he’s serious about this.”

Yes, but will the well-used baggage LT carries turn off some decision makers? “The baggage is the baggage,” Lepselter said. “He can’t run and hide from it.”

Taylor, obviously, knows the game. He will speak his mind, too. If he does want to become an NFL analyst, Taylor should spend the offseason doing a ton of homework learning the ins and outs and personnel of today’s NFL.

“He’s still the Elvis of the NFL, but I’m not delusional,” Lepselter said. “Network execs are going to want to see a body of work before anything can happen. It will really boil down to seeing LT is absolutely committed to the work and that he knows what he’s talking about.”

There is little chance Taylor could land a role on one of the Sunday pregame shows. If he is motivated to do the work, he could easily be a good fit on a specialty program, such as Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” or gigging locally on one of the shows produced by the Giants.

Benjamin Watson, a tight end for the New Orleans Saints, played Monday Night Football with the tensions in Ferguson on his mind. After, he shared his emotions on Facebook:

I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.

I'M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios.

I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.

I'M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.

I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.

I'M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.

I'M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I've seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.

I'M CONFUSED, because I don't know why it's so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don't know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.

I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.

I'M HOPELESS, because I've lived long enough to expect things like this to continue to happen. I'm not surprised and at some point my little children are going to inherit the weight of being a minority and all that it entails.

I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing.

I'M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist, prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and burn. BUT I'M ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One that's capable of looking past the outward and seeing what's truly important in every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope.

Lepselter recently negotiated deals for Peña to join the MLB Network as a studio analyst and for Burleson to join the NFL Network as a studio analyst.

Lepselter and Klein are talking to networks for deals for O’Dowd, who resigned from the Rockies last month. Lepselter represents other front office sports executives for broadcast work, including former Oakland Raiders CEO Amy Trask. “I like working with folks like that, who have that perspective,” he said."

Former college and NFL star Randy Moss is the subject of Rand University, the new 30 for 30 film by ESPN Films.

The film, directed by ESPN Films producer Marquis Daisy, executive produced by ESPN commentator Bomani Jonesand narrated by actor Michael Kenneth Williams (“The Wire”), explores Moss’ life. It tells the story of what almost derailed Mossbefore he ever became nationally known for his extraordinary abilities as a wide receiver.

Producer Marquis Daisy was asked what is was like to work with Bomani Jones (Executive Producer) and he said, "Working with Bomani as the EP on this film has been invaluable. Prior to this film’s inception, Bomani had studied the life and career of Moss, becoming a “Moss encyclopedia.” With his great intellect, we challenged one another creatively. His insight really helped Rand University improve throughout the process. Bomani is extremely talented and I was blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him."
